Danley Fireworks
Tom Danley of Danley Sound Labs has had a recording that he did of a fireworks show on their site for a while now. A lot of people still don’t know about it though, so I figured I would spread the word. The recording has some serious low-frequency explosions.
“This recording has a HUGE dynamic range of about 70dB and a peak to average ratio of 40 dB. On the peaks, it is easy to clip things and the spectrum is such that the level at 10Hz is about equal with that at 50Hz (a broad mound around 25 – 30Hz).
In other words, this recording can gobble up all the headroom you have and the source is one of the most difficult things to reproduce there is from many aspects.” – Tom Danley
Enjoy!

I played this on my 15″ Tumult and was quite impressed. It is a great recording, but not quite as good as the Telarc 1812 Overture.Longer though. There is also a DVD from a company called Eminent Technologies that has extremely low program material for their “fan” subwoofer (the one that’s $13k and looks like a house fan with a baffle) that can be had for free.
